Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

As a responsible business, with a commitment to environmental sustainability, we set and exceed ambitious environmental goals to mitigate our climate impacts. Some of these commitments include:

• Implementing a virtual-first business model to enable a remote workforce, thereby reducing our office footprint, employee commuting and business travel
• Pursuing efficiency programs for offices and data centres to reduce energy consumption
• Procuring renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions
• Reducing waste generation, increasing recycling and working with suppliers to minimise waste and harmful environmental impacts
• Promoting sustainability and resource efficiency within our supply chain
• Designing solutions and services to optimise their environmental performance
• Providing sustainable products and services to help customers achieve their environmental goals.

This past year, DXC Technology have run the following initiatives to drive our environmental goals.

Green Skills Week – Our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) ambassadors organised a virtual activity for Green Skills Week, teaching 50 young people how digital transformation is driving the Green Industrial Revolution, and giving them work experience in the technology industry. The Green Skills Week is an initiative that supports the Government’s Green Industrial Revolution, whilst tackling unemployment.

Conservation Awareness – In 2021, our Lancashire office organised a series of virtual activities to mark the week of Earth day. Employees shared sustainability tips each day on our Facebook for Work platform, Workplace, and participated in a competition to ‘Build the Best Bug Hotel’ out of used, recyclable domestic materials, raising awareness for the concept of circular economy.

Awards
DXC Technology holds a Gold Award from EcoVadis for 2021, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. This places DXC in the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis for environmental and sustainable procurement practices.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

DXC Technology has implemented recommended COVID-19 Secure Requirements across our UK centres. These measures include:

• Maximising ventilation and fresh air on site. This has been implemented by maximising natural ventilation – such as opening doors, windows and air vents when possible
• Implementing several measures to ensure two meters of social distance between staff on site.
• Enhanced our site cleaning to reduce the chance of contact transmission.
• Our staff are committed to:
o Engaging and co-operating with the guidelines to ensure the controls are applied diligently
o Working from home – 90% of our UK workforce have a home-working arrangement, which has not only ensured the safety of our employees during the pandemic but also meant no material disruption to the delivery of vital services to our customers.

Supporting local Redundancies – Our DXC Erskine Technology campus hired over 70 local people who had experienced pandemic-related job loss, having worked in the hospitality industry, transport sector, and in Glasgow Airport. The new hires were retrained in end-to-end processes for rebuilding digital devices, enabling them to change their careers and move further into the IT industry. New hires were able to stay with DXC if they chose; while for some, DXC provided a temporary support net in a difficult time, and others it has been a positive, long-term career change.

Supporting Public Services - DXC also played a critical role in the continuity of vital public services, including providing the IT equipment and infrastructure underpinning the Nightingale Hospital in London and equipping the Government departments with the means to move large numbers of staff to home-working environments. DXC and its staff received wide-scale praise from Government for its vital role in supporting civil servants in unprecedented and difficult conditions.

STEM Learning Partnership
DXC Technology delivers its STEM initiatives in partnership with STEM Learning. DXC works with STEM Learning to find relevant, local opportunities for outreach across the UK, and continued to do this virtually throughout the pandemic. Through STEM Learning, it is possible for DXC to connect with any of up to 230,000 schools in the UK.

In 2021, DXC won the award for Most Inspirational North East Technology Employer North East STEM Awards. DXC Technology’s STEM Ambassadors were recognised for continuing to provide a variety of STEM activities online. Some of these activities include:

LGBTQ+ Diversity in STEM – DXC’s STEM ambassadors and our UK Pride Business Resource Group hosted a Lunch and Learn session on 23 June 2021 to mark Alan Turing’s birthday and commemorate the contributions he made to STEM and the LGBTQ+ community. The Lunch and Learn helped build awareness of the importance of LGBTQ+ figures in STEM.

STEM Role Models - STEM Ambassadors in DXC’s Early Careers programme created a video detailing their graduate and apprentice experiences in DXC as an IT company. The video was distributed in a virtual STEM pack to schools in the local Lancashire area to encourage young people to consider a career in STEM. The video helped make careers in STEM relatable by providing role models, ‘busting’ myths about working in the IT industry, and illustrating the diversity of career paths available.

Charity and Philanthropy
Many of DXC's charitable activities in the UK are run by DXC's employees. With the support of our DXC Cares Programme, we foster a culture where people can contribute to what is important to them. Staff are also supported to volunteer, enabling a greater impact in local communities. The DXC Cares Programme facilities our culture of community and voluntary engagement.
